The City of Oak Harbor Council’s October 6, 2026 regular meeting included approval of two ordinances. Ordinance 2,048 amended the city’s business and occupation tax code to align with state Senate Bill 6113 and the required model ordinance, effective January 1, 2027. Ordinance 2,049 amended false-alarm provisions; the Fire Chief said the changes are intended to encourage repair of recurring alarm problems and move fees to the annually reviewed master fee schedule. The council also approved Chamber of Commerce payable vouchers, with six votes in favor and one abstention; the council member who is the Chamber’s executive director recused himself. No dollar amounts were provided for the vouchers or false-alarm fees.
